Faust Symphony (1854 version) / Mephisto Waltz no. 1

This is a classical album of works by Franz Liszt centred on a symphonic composition in its 1854 version and an accompanying virtuosic waltz. The music combines expansive, programme-driven symphonic writing with virtuosic, dance-derived passages, illustrating Liszt's move toward orchestral experimentation and his influence on the later development of the symphonic poem and concert repertoire.
